For Physical Therapy and Chiropractic clinics in Northwest Houston and Jersey Village, the laundry load is very different from a standard gym or hotel.
You aren’t just dealing with sweat. You are dealing with massage oils, analgesic creams (like Biofreeze), and ultrasound gels.
If you are washing your clinic’s linens in a residential machine in the breakroom, you have likely noticed two problems:
- The “Rancid” Smell: Even after washing, your sheets and towels might smell stale or “off.”
- The Texture: Your towels feel “crunchy” or rough against the patient’s skin.
This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a chemistry problem. And it’s affecting your patient experience.
The Chemistry of Clean: Why Oils Don’t Wash Out
The oils and lotions used in manual therapy are designed to stay on the skin. They are hydrophobic (water-repelling). When you wash them in a standard machine with consumer-grade detergent, the oil isn’t removed; it is just spread around.
Over time, this residual oil oxidizes. That is what causes the distinct “stale oil” smell in many wellness centers. Worse, oil-soaked linens are a known fire hazard in dryers because the flashpoint of the fabric is lowered.
The Royal Hill Solution:
At Royal Hill Laundry, we use commercial-grade Break and Suds chemistry. We strip the oils completely out of the fiber, not just the surface.
The “Hot Pack” Headache (Hydrocollator Covers)
Every PT clinic knows the struggle of Hot Pack Covers. These thick, heavy terry/canvas covers soak up massive amounts of moisture and heat.
- The Problem: They are dense, hold bacteria easily, and take forever to dry in a home unit. If they aren’t dried perfectly, they develop a mildew smell immediately.
- Our Fix: Our industrial dryers and airflow technology ensure these heavy items are dried through to the core, preventing mildew growth and extending the life of these expensive covers.
Stop Paying Medical Staff to Fold Laundry
Let’s look at your payroll.
You hire PT Techs and Office Managers to assist patients and manage schedules. If they are spending 5 hours a week shuffling laundry from the washer to the dryer and folding towels between appointments, you are paying a premium for unskilled labor.
The ROI of Outsourcing:
By moving to a Flat-Rate Commercial Plan with Royal Hill Laundry, you eliminate the “laundry distraction.” Your staff stays focused on the treatment floor, and your inventory never runs out.
Medical-Grade Sanitization (Ozone)
Finally, there is the issue of hygiene. In a post-2020 world, patients notice everything. We use Ozone Injection in our wash cycles. This hospital-grade oxidation process kills 99.9% of bacteria (including Staph and MRSA) in cold water, ensuring every face cradle cover and towel is clinically sanitized.
